Interesting -- it looks like properly generated ACK, except the URI in Route
has some strange value -- I mean SER generates the URI as 
     sip:<username_from_INVITE>@<SER_IP>;ftag=...
How did these values appear there?

Are you sure your script does include the initial if (loose_route) { t_relay();break; }
sequence? That should forward the request to address in request URI.

The problem with snom may be the phone uses some preloaded Routes
which are incompatible with some record-routing workaround for a Cisco
gateway problem in SER. I remember it was reported on the archive --
you perhaps find more there.

yes

>Here I do have User Agents which seem to create an ACK message ignoring it should go to a sip proxy .

You told above UA1 does send to proxy, did not you? It would be better to
send a complete message dump and config file.
